Question

Did not ask offers a mixture of Celine it’s an almond almond sale for seven dollars per pound in Salinas sell for $5.50 per pound the net house will May 20 pounds of the mixed nuts and sell mixture for $5.95 per pound. The following equations represent the problem with keeping the cost of mixture, consistent with the ingredients how many pounds of swing that should be used in the mixture.

Answer 1

Let's assume the number of pounds of almonds in the mixture is x.

According to the given information, the cost per pound of Celine almonds is $7.
So, the total cost of Celine almonds in the mixture is 7x dollars.

The cost per pound of almonds in Salinas is $5.50.
Thus, the total cost of almond nuts in Salinas in the mixture is 5.5(20 - x) dollars. (Note that we subtract x from 20 to represent the remaining pounds of almonds in Salinas in the mixture)

The net cost of the mixture is given as $5.95 per pound.
Therefore, the total cost of the mixture is 5.95 * 20 dollars.

According to the problem, the cost of the mixture needs to be consistent with the ingredients. Thus, we can set up the following equation:

7x + 5.5(20 - x) = 5.95 * 20

Now, we can solve the equation to find the value of x, which represents the number of pounds of almonds needed in the mixture.
